CAPITOL MALL – Amends existing law to provide that certain persons may be banned from the Capitol building, the Supreme Court building, Capitol Mall properties, and multiagency facilities.

This Idaho bill (H 523) allows officials to ban individuals from entering specific state properties for one year. It directly affects people who refuse to follow lawful orders, violate facility rules, threaten safety, or disrupt government operations at the Capitol building, Supreme Court building, Capitol Mall, or multiagency facilities. The ban is issued at the discretion of security officials (like the Department of Administration director) and requires banned individuals to contact security for legitimate business. Violating a ban carries criminal penalties under Idaho law.
